Entertainment Destination Arizona Boardwalk Secures 48 Acres for Future Development
By Michelle Glicksman | June 2, 2023

Arizona Boardwalk at Talking Stick is expanding! The destination recently acquired an additional 48 acres of land for future growth.
The additional land is located north of the current destination, alongside the Loop 101, and presents a unique opportunity for companies seeking to co-locate with Arizona Boardwalk. Currently, the one-of-a-kind entertainment destination features nine world-class attractions, including anchors OdySea Aquarium and Butterfly Wonderland, as well as UFO Experience: The Truth is Out There, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, Laser + Mirror Maze, Pangea Land of the Dinosaurs, Cyber Quest Family Arcade, Johnny’s Playground, and Museum of Illusions. The complex also offers multiple shopping and dining options and hosts family-friendly events in the center courtyard on select weekends.
“The Talking Stick Entertainment District and Scottsdale entertainment space is thriving, and the area is booming with a significant influx of visitors,” says Ran Knishinsky, managing partner at Arizona Boardwalk. “The new property has incredible potential for innovation and collaboration with leaders in the family entertainment industry. We are eager to speak with visionary companies that want to bring their exceptional ideas and original concepts to this entertainment-driven market.”
The new development is uniquely positioned to benefit from Arizona Boardwalk’s current large and diverse audience with over two million annual visitors, and its prime location that sees more than 160,000 vehicles pass by daily. Multiple prominent entertainment operators have already expressed interest in being part of this new venture.
“We are excited to bring this new phase of Arizona Boardwalk to life,” says Managing Partner Adi Knishinsky. “Having built a diversified family entertainment destination in the Scottsdale/Phoenix metro area that delivers unparalleled family experiences, we look forward to working with other like-minded, dynamic entertainment and recreational companies with the same commitment. We are going to create something truly exceptional with the expansion of Arizona Boardwalk.”
